Today is a lovely sunny day here in England, quite a nice change during winter and I couldn't believe my eyes, when I saw a large black and red butterfly in my garden, now that is a first for mid November!

Onto my card, I used Krista Smiths Molly The Elf for my newest Christmas card and made a lot of the elements my self too, so I am really pleased with it.

I colored her with Copics and added flocking and a sprinkle of diamond dust to the fluffy & furry parts of her clothes. I didn't draw her nose, but I did use shadowing to create one, which I am also pleased with ha ha!

The outer paper is from my own stash of goodies and the edges are chalked, the two top papers are Maja Design,edged with metallic paint & the border is Maja too.

I added the white memory box flourish, die cuts around the outer edge, as I think they add a little more interest to the shape.

I made the two hat pins to compliment the brown and blue colour scheme.

I also made the two layer glittery snowflakes, if you enlarge the picture you can see both layers. There is sneaky glimpse of the cream lace, I added underneath the border.

The candy cane is made from Fimo clay and yes, you guessed I made that too.

In an effort to cut down on your scrolling time, I made these photos into a page and as you can see in the top right picture, I used a Tim Holtz Ideology pin to hold the sentiment ticket and joined the two silver bells together with a silver ring and attached them to the pin.

See below for a selection of my first cards, that I posted on my blog

Valentines Topper

I Used Tim Holtz Distress Inks As The Medium For This Topper and The Stunning Roses, Poppies and Tulips are From WOC and Papers Are From My Personal Stash Of Mixerd Designer Papers.

Step Cards

I have been making these step cards since around 2009/10 and find them to be very eye catching and unusual in design. My family were all thrilled with their Christmas step cards, so I thought I would share the two that I have made recently. One is a male theme Edwin Card and the Other is from the Magnolia 2013 Summer Memories Range! Thanks For droping Bye. Cuddles Jay x
